Plate Air Preheater for Heat Recovery in the Petroleum Industry

Plate Air Preheater for Heat Recovery in the Petroleum Industry

Working Principle

Heat exchange process: Plate air preheater transfers heat from exhaust gases or hot fluids to incoming air through heat exchange plates, thus heating the air and reducing energy consumption.

Fluid flow: Counter flow or cross flow design is usually adopted to maximize the heat exchange efficiency.

Design Features

Efficient Heat Exchange: Plate design provides a large heat exchange area to transfer heat efficiently.

Compact structure: Takes up little space and is suitable for use in limited industrial environments.

Easy to clean: the removable design makes maintenance and cleaning more convenient.

Application Scenarios

Petroleum Refining: In the process of oil refining, the preheater is utilized to heat the air to improve combustion efficiency and reduce energy consumption.

Exhaust gas recovery: The heat of the exhaust gas generated in the production process is recovered and used to heat the incoming air.

Advantages

Energy saving and consumption reduction: through heat recovery, fuel demand is significantly reduced and operating costs are reduced.

Environmental benefits: Reduces exhaust gas emissions and meets environmental requirements.
